"Our focus is on being genuinely helpful to clients by providing a high quality accounting and tax compliance service as well as business support while keeping pricing fair and reasonable. "
Crunch Accounting was founded by Jude Stirling when she identified a need in the accountancy services market to give excellent service and advice to small-to-medium sized businesses.
We believe each person who comes to us is important. There are no large clients or small clients – only valued clients who we treat with honesty, integrity and respect. Crunch Accounting is dedicated to providing flexible and efficient bookkeeping, accounting and tax services to help you and your business continuously improve.
Using current software in the Cloud we can provide efficient advice to you, however we won’t mind if you bring us your accounts, neatly notated and colour-coded in crisp plastic files or in a cardboard box which has found itself the place for all those receipts you know will come in handy “one day”.
We are part of the new face of accounting firms, offering clients easily accessible advice and reporting at affordable rates. No client is too small for Crunch Accounting.

Crunch Accounting Services can do as much or as little as you want.
Some business owners want the freedom to get on with their day-to-day business, leaving all the accounting details in the hands of someone else. Others are happy to take care of their accounting through the year, but want the assurance that their year-end financial statements and tax obligations are all in order.
Regardless of the level of service you opt for, once we have all your paperwork on hand, the team at Crunch Accounting work to a six-week turn around for year-end accounts and tax returns.
Over the years, we’ve found that people like the certainty of a fixed cost or Crunch can customise a service for your business or you can choose from one of our fixed-price packages.
This package is for those of you who want as little as possible to do with your accounting paperwork and IRD, while still having access to detailed information on your business whenever you need it. The Number Crunchers Accounting Package effectively provides you with an accountant "on staff". You pay a fixed monthly fee (so there's not an end-of-year lump sum to pay) and one of the Crunch team is available at the end of the phone whenever you need them. We also deal directly with IRD on your behalf - a popular feature of the Number Crunchers Package. Once a month, you receive an easy-to-understand summary of where your business is at - and any timely tax budgeting advice. Clients who opt for the Number Crunchers Accounting Package quickly recognise the convenience of the fixed cost and the excellent level of service it provides.
Features:
• Monthly cashflow/profit reports
• Preparation and filing of GST, PAYE and FBT returns, as they fall due
• Full set of year-end financial statements
• Preparation and filing of annual tax returns
• An accountant on the end of the phone (or email)
If you are happy enough doing your own accounts during the year, but want the confidence of knowing your year-end financials and tax return are all extra good for the IRD, the Crunch Accounting Annual Accounts Package is for you.
Features:
• Full set of year-end financial statements
• Annual tax return filed
• Year-end business, tax and budgeting advice
If you own a rental property, but don't enjoy the year-end panic around tax returns, then take a look at Crunch Accounting's Rental Property Package.
Features:
• Full set of year-end financial statements
• Preparation and filing of annual tax return
• Year-end business, tax and budgeting advice
If you have investment income, or income from a Family Trust, we can prepare your personal tax return, send you the tax summary report, and file the return with Inland Revenue on your behalf.
Administering your payroll can be time-consuming and divert you from your core business activities. Added to this, payroll and employment legislation are growing increasingly complex.
We can assist by providing a comprehensive, confidential payroll service that includes administration of PAYE, statutory sick pay, KiwiSaver payments, annual leave, and IR-filing to the IRD. We can also provide up-to-date information or advice in any of these areas.
Company Compliance Company legislation requires businesses to perform several administration tasks that take up a lot of valuable company time. We can relieve this burden for you, and ensure that you don’t face penalties. Our services include:• Company formations• Filing annual returns with the Companies Office on your behalf• Preparing all documentation related to minutes and resolutions• Maintaining statutory books• Assistance with changes of directors, shareholders, addresses, and office details
I’d just like to make a comment about your accounting work.
We have not encountered anyone that has been as efficient as you have been.
It was a delight to get the accounts so quickly and using modern on-line systems.
It is a change from what we are used to.

I can't rave about Jude from Crunch Accounting enough. The historical records we asked her to look at were in a mess, with information missing and she was able to piece it all together with no hassle and made it so easy and stress free! Would recommend her to anyone especially if you are feeling a little stressed just thinking about your tax returns.

As a sole trader having only started my own business in the last 18 months, it was great to find another small business out there to help support and guide me through the accounting side of trading. Jude is a breath of fresh air, a lovely person to deal with and brings accounting down to my level. Have loved dealing with her and am more than happy to have her on my side as we both move into the future. Thank you Jude for the professional yet approachable, down to earth service you have provided me with.

All I can say is, if you need an Accountant use Jude Stirling from Crunch Accounting. She’s been absolutely amazing – so freaking helpful and really knows her stuff. I needed a massive job done in order for us to get our first mortgage, and she’s been amazing!
